Operating Principles

Principles that shape execution, team culture, and delivery quality.

Agency is everything

The work I'm proudest of happened because I just started. Most people would rather discuss than do. Most decisions are reversible and you're rewarded for moving first.

Ship or die

Speed wins. Fast iteration beats perfect planning. The barriers to shipping are usually imaginary.

Being human matters more than ever

AI commoditizes execution while human creativity becomes scarce. We're wired to value what other humans make. Authenticity compounds exponentially. Most people won't put themselves out there, so they never capture the value they create.

Experience

Leadership roles spanning engineering management, architecture, and enterprise analytics.
